Apologies to any who this inconveniences. If you are one of the few who registered, we will be in touch personally. WA-FEAST has already committed to bringing Kyle Dine to Seattle for a concert at the Seattle FAAN Walk on Sunday 8/15/2010, so we will likely still have an awesome WA-FEAST event for tween-teens only on Saturday 8/14 with him.
